Halifax is one of Canada’s oldest cities, and with that comes ageing water and sewer infrastructure that needs renewal.
Between 2019 and 2049, Halifax Water plans to invest about $4 billion to upgrade infrastructure to ensure the continued delivery of high-quality water, wastewater and stormwater services to benefit our customers and the environment. Below are some of the projects currently underway at Halifax Water.
Mt. Edward Reservoir #1 Replacement
As part of our ongoing commitment to communicating with customers and the local community, Halifax Water would like to inform you that we are replacing the aging Mt. Edward Reservoir #1 (concrete) with a new steel reservoir. This work is part of the utility's 30-year, $4 billion investment commitment to improving aging water, wastewater and stormwater systems.
Cogswell District Energy System
The Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) is redeveloping the existing Cogswell Interchange area located in downtown Halifax. As part of this redevelopment plan, HRM requested Halifax Water explore the feasibility of an Ambient Temperature District Energy System (ATDES) in the Cogswell area.
Sawmill Creek Storm Sewer Replacement
As part of our ongoing commitment to communicating with customers and the local community, Halifax Water would like to inform you that we are beginning work on the Sawmill Creek Daylighting Project. This project is in partnership with the Halifax Regional Municipality.
